DynaMike ◊ 2008-01-04 23:56	Looks like two different cars: main pic is a one colour version; thumbnails show a two-tone version?

More comments on its own page. The badge below the DeSoto emblem above the left side of the grille may say Simplimatic, a kind of auto transmission, I believe. -- Last edit: 2008-01-05 04:51:59
pilou ◊ 2008-01-05 11:12	Large picture is a 1946-48 DeSoto DeLuxe ( S-11-S) .On the thumbnails an interesting late 1948 DeSoto 9 passenger Suburban on the 139.5 inches chassis ( S-11-C) featuring the two-tone paint and the standard roof luggage rack with wooden slats and metal rails .The Suburban was introduced in mid-1947 , but the color scheme of this one , regal blue with arctic silver roof was only introduced in late 1948.Most of these cars used the Fluid Drive transmission.I think that the Suburban deserves its own filing.
